Chapter 725: Editor and Writer
Takeshita Kusaoke, who has not made any comments on "The Story of the Little Yellow Chicken", on the one hand, has never read it and does not speak falsely, and on the other hand, he really does not understand children's literature. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info himself is still the same insistence that it is best to write books in the field of serious literature and become famous when he is about forty years old. At the same time, she did not praise her youngest daughter's achievements at the moment.
Today's Kitagawa Mina is no longer in the state she was in when she was a child, so she needs to give her a lot of encouragement. Since she was admitted to a prestigious private junior high school with her hard work, she has regained her confidence. Then, I was admitted to a prestigious high school, and until I was admitted to Keio University, I became more and more confident.
Instead of praising it, he thinks it's the best Takeshita grass mustard, and I'm worried that Kitagawa Mina will inflate herself. After all, in the current era, what cats and dogs can be called editors and writers, a little bit of achievement, often begin to self-aggrandize, and they want to go to heaven and earth, either they feel that they are talented, talented, and reincarnated as a literary and opera star, or they have a great responsibility from heaven, and they feel that they are not people, but gods, and they have completely forgotten when they are personal slaves.
For this reason, when I think of the Takeshita grass mustard here, I naturally recall China in the 80s of the 20th century. At that time, the editors had a high level of professional quality, and they could often find a plagiarized sentence from the contributors, and then the corresponding thing was to give the author a warning not to publish it. If it is found that there is plagiarism in the whole paragraph, it will be directly pulled into the blacklist.
At that time, writers were not only well-read, but also very fond of personal feathers. The reason why they are like this is that they all know that publishing a book is not something you can come up with, but a certain strict index every year. It's not like it is today, as long as the content of the book is not reactionary, not yellow, but not a line...... Paying out of pocket, they can basically publish books, which has caused the book market to be uneven, and there is a lot of garbage.
The most ridiculous thing is that some desperate losers in many colleges and universities either have their eyes on others to publish books, or in order to evaluate their professional titles, they also find publishers to publish books at their own expense. On the printing side, because there are at least hundreds of copies, you have to pay a sum of money first. Since they are not well circulated in the market, the publisher will not be responsible for marketing.
If the author has to ask the publisher to put it on the shelves, he will have to pay an extra sum of money. Otherwise, the publisher will never do it. Even if a bookstore is asked to sell one or two copies. Even if it is placed in a conspicuous position, it still does not attract many readers who buy books.
Therefore, in order to reduce costs, recover losses, and even make money, they set the price of books high, and then boasted about themselves in their own elective courses and sold books to students in disguised and compulsive manner. Of course, I don't forget to put a pressure on students not to buy my books and not think about taking electives to get credit for this subject.
In addition, it is directly apportioned to the graduate students they bring with them, or the student union cadres they manage, or they are either asked to help sell the books, or they are forced to buy ten, twenty, fifty, or one hundred books each...... In the end, I will never forget to send a copy to each of the main leaders of the school, so as to show that I still have certain achievements in academics. Even if they know each other that the content of the book is academic garbage, it doesn't matter, after all, that's how games are played.
"Dad, Mustard Press and a small publishing house, which one should I choose to publish the book? I don't want to be because people outside say that I rely on your connections, or spend money to hire a large number of water armies to hype up "The Story of Little Yellow Chicken". Kitagawa Mina, who had all the doubts in her heart, wanted to hear what good advice he had for herself.
Takeshita Kusaoke, who had his thoughts back, said solemnly: "Once you engage in writing, don't be afraid of being told by others. Even if you write well, there will still be harsh different voices. The great writer Fyodor Dostoevsky, who represents the depth of Russian literature, has not yet been strongly criticized by the Russian-American writer of "Lolita", Vladimir Nabokov. You have to know that large publishing houses have many absolute advantages that small publishing does not have. For example, sales channels. If your book is good enough, it can also help you sell it abroad. ”
Kako Kitagawa, who was smiling with a red face and her mouth was already closed, never thought that one of her stupidest and ugliest children would be able to stand out and say: "Mina, you are much better than your father." This will surely be better than the blue. I remember very clearly that your father's famous work was the short story "Rashomon", and at that time, he was already twenty-seven or eight years old. Our family's Mui Ne is only nineteen or twenty years old at the moment. In my opinion, Mui Ne's achievements will certainly not be small in the future. Mika has been studying literature and writing with your father for so many years, and I haven't seen her make a name for herself. Illustrate one? Whether you can become a writer or not depends mainly on talent, not on who you learn from? ”
"You're talking nonsense, whatever, whatever. I think you're a complete layman, and you don't know what serious literature is. "I don't think that Mina is better and better than Mikakai in the field of literature, and Takeshita Kusaokei still hasn't thought about accepting her as a second disciple, after all, she belongs to the field of children's literature, so she is like a mountain.
"Mom, your attitude has changed too quickly! In the past, you have always thought that Mui Ne has failed your expectations, and that it is the most disproportionate to the effort and return. You give her good food, good clothing, good food, good housing, etc., and still not get what you want. Now, how did you start to be proud of Mui Ne? Kitagawa Miyu, who was sour and sour in her heart, was neither helping Mina nor exposing her mother's bottom, but just interjecting in an unbalanced heart for a while.
Kitagawa Kako, who didn't mind at all, smiled with crow's feet in both eyes and said, "Now, although your little brother Ryoma is not particularly good, and your father is not satisfied with him, I believe that he will be as good as Mina in the future." No, it should be even better than Mina, as outstanding as your father. ”
"Hooray, Mom." Kitagawa Ryoma, who is often blamed by his father, has certainly not realized his father's hatred of iron and steel. With his arms raised high, he is also full of confidence in his future, after all, he is also his father's out-and-out biological child. Now, even Muina, who has the worst qualifications in the family, has emerged, so she will definitely not be bad. (To be continued.) )
